My mom is the same way. She thinks that when I have a stomach problem and v* or almost do so (Like I almost did last october) she thinks it's like "therapy" and getting sick will make me better. She says not to be so dramatic and just do it, she says she understands my phobia but she calls me irrational ALLLLLLLLL the time. I can't stand people who act that way. My best friend, he doesn't understand my emet, and he doesn't pretend to, but he tolorates it and just lets me be. I like that.
